Recently I have read some tips for women (my aunty and my Mum send them to me):

Men's affection? Nothing is easier! From the outset, train your man to spend his money and his free time for you. And it does not matter, he will give you flowers or expensive gifts, will be go out with you to McDonald's cafe or to an expensive restaurants, or will do in an apartment renovation or just whitewash your ceilings by himself. The main thing - do not forget that men are much more appreciated by what they give than what they get.

There is really all that as it was (see the photo above). At some period of our life when he had to rent an apartment in a capital city (Kazan), when he had to buy the necessary things when the money wasn't enough, he started with 3,000 rubles (($100) but I had to rent an apartment), and I have spent about 500 rubles per month for food (less than $20 a month!), we did not starve, but we were much more short in money, and so I was really appreciated by this "Valentine" ice cream. Because at least it was not so vital. :-)

Here is a picture of 12-year-old, February 14, 2000. Everything is there, terribly cute: romantic walks along the street market in Kazan and heart-shaped ice cream "Valentine" as a gift ...

Yesterday, my husband drank a little bit (it was my father's birthday), and said a lot of pleasant words before going to bed. :-)I think, I wonder, because who is your husband? This is the only person who saw you ragged, sick, burnt, with no makeup, terrible in your anger, nervous during your PMT, saying horrible stuff during your family quarrels, weeping, crying and banging the doors ... And for some reasons he's still your husband!
